Wing Chun – Peng Nan Yong Chun Lineage
Internal Power, Direct Lineage, and Living Tradition
Wing Chun (永春拳, Yong Chun Quan – “Eternal Spring Boxing”) is a refined martial art rooted in efficiency, sensitivity, and internal power.
At 1MindBodyFitness, we teach Peng Nan Yong Chun, a Foshan lineage passed down directly through Dr. Jeff Lan, verified by Grandmaster Peng Nan and his teacher Liang Dong Sheng.
⚔️ The Essence of Wing Chun
Wing Chun is known for its close-quarters strategy, relaxed power, and structural intelligence.
It’s not about force — it’s about flow, alignment, and sensitivity.
This unique Peng Nan branch preserves ancient Qigong practices that were part of the system since its origin, restoring the internal cultivation often missing in modern variations.
“To yield does not mean that one is weak. In achieving ambition, the self should not take leave from humanity.”
— Shifu Liang Dong Sheng (in honor of Grandmaster Peng Nan)
The Lineage: From Foshan to Cape Town
The Peng Nan Yong Chun system was passed down through generations of masters dedicated to both martial and moral excellence.
Chan Wah Shun → teacher of both Ng Chung So and Yip Man
Peng Nan, student of Chui Chau, Lai Yip Chi, and Dai Fa Min Kam
Liang Dong Sheng, student of Peng Nan
Dr. Jeff Lan, direct disciple and lineage holder under Liang Dong Sheng
This connection ensures that what you learn at 1MindBodyFitness remains authentic, unbroken, and alive — not reinterpreted or commercialised.
Internal Wing Chun: The Missing Link
Peng Nan’s Wing Chun bridges the worlds of Kung Fu and Qigong.
It trains not only the body but also the Qi (vital energy) that drives it.
Rounded, fluid, and internally connected movements
Emphasis on relaxation, breathing, and rooted structure
Integration of standing meditation and internal energy principles
Movements performed with mindful precision, resembling Tai Chi’s inner calm yet retaining Kung Fu’s dynamic intent

The Wing Chun Mind
“Empty your cup.”
In the ancient story, a scholar visited a master to learn wisdom. The master poured tea into a full cup until it overflowed. “Your mind is like this cup,” said the master. “First, empty it.”
Approach your training the same way — with humility, curiosity, and openness.
This is where true mastery begins.
